Anyone know where I can get a green (Front left) sensor for a 1990. Prefer a new one so I know it will work.

Thanks

if you are wanting a ncr car, then you'll want to
put the sensor's on your car, if you are gonna drive it
toss them puppies in the trash can. they have been known to fail at high speed. kinda tough on fiberglass

Actually I've been thinking more and more about putting the sensors back in my car. I have had tires go flat, it would be nice to have a warning. I'm wondering if taping the sensor onto the band would help keep the plastic from cracking at high speeds. Something like helicopter tape or maybe duct tape, wrap it around a few times.

I need a new right rear one though as it was broken by a tire shop before I owned the car. As far as getting a new one, I thought they were still available from GM? Is that not true?

We need to find someone to build the sensors into the valve stem like the newer cars.. then the problems would go away.. LOL

EXPENSIVE LITTLE BUGGERS (hope no one steals em) BUT A NICE SOLUTION EXCEPT FOR THE BIG RECEIVER MONITOR---

where do ya put this honker at inside the Z?

Anybody have the schematics for them? or the information on them. I bet it could be reverse engineered to a SMALLER Package.. hardest part will be the transmitter in the sensor I would guess..

Anybody have any to disect? My Z did not have any on the wheels

I have one somewhere with a broken housing. I'm sure other people do too. They seem to get broken by tire shops with reasonable frequency.
